Transformers G1 Re Issue Ravage/Rumble

What better way to anticipate the arrival of  G1 ReIssues of Ravage and Rumble than by working out while watching some old G1 TF's episodes? The card came In pretty good shape but I had no intentions of keeping these sealed.  Two things of beauty! Much like 1985 Snake Eyes ,Ravage was a Transformers figure I always wanted as a kid.Thanks to Hasbro's  re-issue ,I'm finally able to  hold this fantastic replica in-hand ! Since I never owned an original ,I'm not sure how true to it this version is. It's gotta be damn close,tho. Rumble...or..Frenzy ...whatever you want to call him, Is  pretty cool  ,too. He kind of reminds me of those old  80's Transformer watches . I think they share similarities In their transformations. What I love most about both of these figures,besides the fact that they transform Into awesome little cassette tapes , Is their chromed out weaponry. How glorious are these little...

Transformers G1 Reissue Warpath

I can finally knock another figure off my want and watch list.Funny that Toy Box brought up the fact that most of the time ,brick and mortar stores never have what we're looking for.Well,this time I had no intentions on picking up any figures.What was supposed to be just a quick dog food run to the grocery store turned into a fruitful toy hunt.I don't think Warpath released with the initial wave of minicon reissues,as he was nowhere to be found during that time.I remembered seeing some Walmart reissue Warpath listings on eBay recently  and decided to quickly scan the toy aisles before exiting with my dog food and other miscellaneous items.Sure enough,there he was! Isn't that card art glorious!It's like Warpath's reaching out to grab the action figure before you get a chance to break It out of It's plastic confines!  Warpath was one of the few Transformers I owned as a kid and I absolutely loved him!Maybe It had  to do with the fact that he was a ...

G1 Prime! (Well,Sorta)

You guys don't know how long I've had this figure In my sights.It's been on my Ebay watch list for months ,multiple times. Everytime I see It on Wal Mart shelves I smh at the $50 price tag.I almost took the plunge on the knock off from China but I was afraid of something going wrong during shipping.Finally,one of the Prime's In my watch list dropped to an even $30 and I bought It for myself as an early birthday gift to me :) That boxart Is downright hypnotizing!You can't help but feel like a kid again when cracking open these reissues! Now,I'm no vintage Transformers aficionado,but according to You tubers that are,these Prime reissues are far from being exact replicas.Well,for one It comes without the trailer.The colors are also a little brighter and the fists are a bit smaller than the originals. Here's Prime without the stickers. I gotta tell ya,my decal game Is way off these days.At certain points It felt like I was disarming an I.E.D. S...
